Let those who are cast down look up now; let the sorrowful be
glad; let the sad hearts be comforted, and the broken hearts be bound
up. Lift up your heads and rejoice in the fact that the day of
deliverance for mankind is at the door!
[603]Call to mind for a moment the great amount of suffering in the
densely populated cities. Old men and old women, young men and young
women, children, infants in arms, all crowded into foul tenements, with
not sufficient food, impure air, and improper clothing; and everything
tending to degrade their morals. Call to mind the countries devastated
by the war, the homes destroyed, families broken up, the crippled,
blind, deaf, dumb, and insane. Imagine for a moment the intense
suffering of the millions of people throughout the earth; and then know
that this dark vail of suffering and death will shortly be lifted and
the sunlight of God's love will shine in upon all. Like the sun, the
great Messianic kingdom, shining forth with healing beams, shall dispel
the darkness, drive away the sickness, clean up the bodies and clean up
the minds and morals, point the people to proper food--what to eat and
how to eat it, what to think upon and how to conduct themselves; and
above all, to give them a full knowledge of the loving kindness of our
great God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, the dearest Friend of all.
